Ideal for precisely reproducing the sound of the newest multi-track films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible. The data for the sound field of an opera house are used for the front presence, so the threedimensional feeling of the sound field is emphasized, and dialog is precisely oriented on the screen. By using the data for the sound field of a concert hall on the surround sound field, powerful reverberations are generated. You can enjoy watching action, adventure movies, etc. with strong presence.
This program is for reproducing sounds on a multi-track film, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The front presence of the sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining echo effect of conversations without losing clarity. For the surround sound field, the harmony of music or chorus sounds beautifully in a wide space at the rear of the sound field.

DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS
When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and sound effect, and each speakers output level as you wish.
Sound Output Level of the Center, Right Rear and Left Rear Speakers, and Subwoofer
If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each speaker even if it has already been adjusted in ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE on pages 19 and 20.
When high-rate 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals are input to this unit, the delay time and speaker output levels cannot be adjusted.

Delay Time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound effect from the rear speakers. The larger the value, the later the sound effect is generated. The delay time can be individually adjusted to all DSP programs.

The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel. If CENTER SP on the SET MENU is set to the NONE position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because the center channel sound is automatically output from the right and left main speakers. Once the sound output level has been adjusted, the level will be the same for all DSP programs.
